The Vologda Lace Museum is in the top of the things to do in Vologda. Appropriately located near the most ancient architectural ensemble – the picturesque Vologda Kremlin, the Lace Museum was opened in autumn 2010. The museum hosts several expositions in nearly 1,500 sq m of exhibition space. The exhibition extends over two levels and covers all ages of lace-making from the early 17th century – showcasing gorgeous and rare hand-made designs, to later industrial production and through to contemporary lace presented in haute couture.
Put together throughout several years, the museum features needle and bobbin lace from the 17th century onward, of Spanish, French, German, Polish and Slovak origin, costumes and accessories of the same eras, photos and other materials covering the history of lace. The Lace Museum also provides on-going lace making classes with experienced instructors.
